[QUOTE="VoiceOfReason, post: 124630, member: 6510"] DIAD IV is GPS enabled. Unfortunately for the center we can't use it yet. There is no computer program to allow us to see where you are, there is "supposed" to be but not yet. Don't drop your DIAD IV. They are horribly fragile in comparison to DIAD III. I do all the equipment exchanges (broken DIADs) and the number one problem is this little plug from the battery to the circuit board. It wiggles out when dropped repeatedly. The first sign that this is happening is your poor OMS can not upload you DIAD at the end of the day because it can't make an electrical connection. If you really do a number on it the whole DIAD will shut off because you knocked the whole plug out. THen you are dead in the water and waiting for a new board. We have had a lot of probelms with the DIAD software locking up, signature pads freezing, and the confirmation beep not working (this really sucks when scanning bulk). And the stylus falls out pretty easily. There are two DIAD IV carriers, get the black plastic belt clip. It takes some getting used to but you'll love it eventually. Free hands and depending on your seatbelt you can leave it on your hip while driving instead of putting it in the rack. The other carrier is a big bulky stiff pouch. It pretty much sucks. [/QUOTE]
